Provenance

Where it came from

Nuclear Fallout was released in 2024 as part of the Magic: The Gathering Universes Beyond: Fallout set. This card represents a strategic board wipe mechanic within the game, designed to emulate the catastrophic thematic elements of the Fallout video game franchise. By dealing damage to all creatures and non-land permanents, the card mirrors the total destruction caused by nuclear weaponry in the source material's post-apocalyptic setting.

The card was designed by Wizards of the Coast as part of a collaborative effort to translate the aesthetic and narrative tone of the Fallout series into tabletop gameplay. The artwork focuses on the stark, iconic imagery associated with the series' vault-dwelling narrative. It was generally well-received by the player base for its mechanical efficiency and its thematic resonance with the established lore of the wasteland.
